I'm plowing throught the 6 or so hard-sector floppies that I have
from this thing and I ran across a few ASCII text
strings. Here's
the largest one and perhaps it furnishes a clue to what
I've got:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
* INSTRUMENT CONTROL SUBROUTINE
*
* FAIRCHILD SERIES 70/76
*
* WAVETEK 172A FUNCTION GENERATOR
SUBROUTINE SETUP,FG_2 SHAPE @1:C,DC_OFFSET @2:S,MODE @3:C
SET @1="W172A-2; 15/MAY/83";
IEEE_SEND(1:7)"S", at 1,"I";
B DECLARE S:0,I:0,C:0;
SET LC0 = "2";
SET LC0 = "1";
SET LC1 = "2";
* ( ISSUE 26 APR 1981 ) *
OUTPUT /LC3 "SHAPE:", at 1/;
OUTPUT /LC3 "MODE:", at 3/;
SET @1="W172A-2;
--------------------------------------------------------------------
It would seem that I'm dealing with something from an old piece of
ATE equipment. Does "Fairchild Series 70/76" conjure up any
memories? Does anyone have a clue to what processor this thing might
have used?
Thanks,
Chuck
